Titanium and chrome cobalt - hard metals for CAD/CAM manufacturing

Nowadays, hard metals are widely used in dentistry. Titanium and Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) alloys offer a broad range of applications and can hence be used for the manufacturing of a multitude of dental restorations. This presents an advantage, because the smaller the amount of alloy in the mouth of the patient, the better is the absorption by the body.

The Zirkonzahn cobalt chrome material Chrom-Cobalt is at the same time hard and elastic. Therefore, it is particularly suited for the manufacture of delicate structures. Already existing restorations can be appropriately enlarged thanks to the good solderability of the material. During the milling process, a surface quality which reduces bacteria formation, is created. Zirkonzahn offers Chrom-Cobalt blocks in seven different heights (10-25 mm). These are especially suited for the manufacture of bars and metal frameworks, which can also be veneered with ceramics. For treatment of the material, Zirkonzahn offers the Milling Units M1 Wet Heavy and M5 (Milling Spindle Hard Automatic M5) as well as the CAD/CAM Milling Burs CrCo.

Titanium distinguishes itself through a particularly rare quality, namely its aptitude for osseointegration. This is why the material has proven its worth in oral surgery. In dentistry, it is used for the manufacture of primary and secondary structures for veneering with ceramics, as well as for bar implant constructions. Zirkonzahn offers Titan 5 blanks (Hardness grade 5 ASTM), which are used for the manufacture of secondary structures. The blocks are available in seven different heights (10-25 mm). Titan 5 can be wet processed with the Milling Units M1 Wet Heavy and M5 (Kit Wet Grinding/Wet Milling M5 and Milling Spindle Hard Automatic M5) as well as the CAD/CAM Burs Titan.
